Brief Answer:
Neurologist consultation
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
No, there might not be a direct association with the endometriosis and the numbness your aunt has. Its very unlikely for endometriosis to cause such neurological problems.
The numbness is a type paresthesia that usually is due to peripheral nerve problems. The problem to the nerve might be at the origin site near the spine to anywhere along the length until its supply level.
It is very important to get the nerve problem evaluated at the earliest. It is very important she gets examined by the neurologist.
Hope, I answered your query. Wish you good health.
Regards
